The Dukes were AMAZING!!! Maria and her band know how to get the party started and keep the party going all night! Maria was incredible as she was able to do the music queues for our ceremony and then her and the band broke it down during the reception. The dance floor was packed the entire night!! The band was incredible and interacted with the audience which got everyone excited. They have such a range and an incredible song list. All throughout planning, Maria was amazing too – answering questions, helping with song recommendations, helping with timeline, and being able to totally get the vibe we wanted for our wedding!

We had the Dukes at our wedding ceremony and reception in June 2021 and they were fantastic! Maria was a pleasure to work with and made the planning process easy. She was quick to jump on the phone, talk through the details, share song lists, and work with us to understand exactly what we envisioned. And our 7-piece band was so talented! They completely understood the music we were going for, got everyone out on the dance floor, and kept the party going the whole night. Plus - they learned a few custom songs for our ceremony and first dance and they mastered them! I couldn't recommend the Dukes more for anyone planning a wedding in the Martha's Vineyard area!

These guys know how to start a party!! We were lucky enough to have the Dukes for our wedding in September. I know I didn’t make things easy for them- we had the beach ceremony where I wanted an acoustic guitar playing, and then an outdoor reception. To top it off, I knew I didn’t want the basic wedding songs that you typically hear. The Dukes took this all in stride and made it look so easy. We just loved working with them. To top it off, we just had THE best time. They made our reception fun and got everyone in their feet, singing and dancing from the first song until the very last song. I 100% would recommend them for any event or party. I can’t wait to dance with them again!

We were lucky enough to stumble upon the Dukes of Circuit Ave, who have a relatively small online presence, at one of my good friend’s weddings. As soon as they started playing, we knew we’d be LUCKY to have them play our own wedding! Given the caliber of their talent, we were shocked to learn that their prices were in keeping with other Boston-based bands and we jumped at the opportunity to book their services!

Fast forward a year to our own wedding and the Dukes turned out to be even better than we remembered! We booked a 9-piece band and each musician could have been a solo performer in his/her own right. They were able to recreate music from a huge range of genres and had the dance floor packed most of the night, despite the 100 degree weather and wide age range of our guests! My parents were pleased that they managed to keep the volume at a level so that guests who were not big dancers could hear one another in conversation, while my husband and I were thrilled that they managed to bring an energy to the crowd that wouldn’t have been possible in their absence. They were also willing to tailor their services to our needs/wishes, including learning a song that wasn’t on their set list for our first dance, allowing my brother (who plays the sax) to join them for a few songs, and allowing my husband to surprise me and the rest of our guests by singing the lead on Wagon Wheel!

Finally, the Dukes (and their business leader, Katrina) were professional and prompt in their correspondences with us in the year leading up to our wedding. We cannot overemphasize what a worthwhile investment hiring the Dukes was and would HIGHLY recommend their services to anyone who is considering hiring them!

(In fact, we loved them so much that we referred them to my best friend, who just got married last weekend and the Dukes were – yet again – a huge hit! So they’re 3 for 3 in our book!)
